Blythe Intaglios
The Blythe Geoglyphs are giant pictures scratched out of the gravel in the Colorado Desert; just north of Blythe, California. For some reason, I expected them to be bigger.

| "I do not wish to be an artist. I only wish that art enables me to be."- Noah Purifoy, 1963 |
Artist Noah Purifoy spent the last 15 years of his life sculpting junked materials into art in the Mohave desert. As I walked the 10 acres of assemblage, I considered what each item might have looked like when they were created -- before many years of exposure to the desert.
Robolights
On our way out of Palm Springs, we did a quick drive-by of Kenny Irwin's Robolights, in the daylight. If you'd like to see what's behind the walls, check his Facebook page for info on requesting a tour.
Bono's Orange
Bono's Historic Orange was once a Route 66 roadside produce stand. Today, there is only the orange -- a giant roadside orange.

Bunnies
The Bunny Museum
Twenty-some years ago, Candace Frazee and Steve Lubanski began exchanging daily rabbit-related gifts. This continued until the collection grew to the point that they joked about living in a bunny museum. In 1998, they made it official and opened the Bunny Museum in Pasadena. The museum recently moved north to Altadena and the collection contains over 35,000 bunnies.
If you can charge an admission fee, it's not hoarding; it's a museum.
